Whether you own a home or a commercial space, you need to take precautions to ensure your property is protected year after year. One thing you should not overlook is the importance of a working waste removal system. At Arrow Sewer & Drain in north and central New Jersey, our team specializes in a wide array of septic tank services, including septic tank repair and septic tank decommissioning, to help prevent disasters in both residential plumbing and commercial plumbing environments.
Understanding Septic Tanks
Modern homes and buildings rely on plumbing to get waste and wastewater away from the property. Whether you flush the toilet, run the dishwasher, or let water flow down the shower drain, it needs to make its way out of the building for sanitary reasons. For those living in rural environments, your home or commercial building may be equipped with a septic tank.
Septic tanks are systems built into the ground outside. The area will have been dug up, and, once the tank is installed and connected to the necessary piping, backfilled with soil. This allows property owners to easily remove waste without having unsightly tanks sitting above ground. Septic tanks are typically made of concrete, fiberglass, or polyethylene, allowing them to last for decades.
Here’s how septic systems work:
- Water runs out of your building and into the tank through a main drainage pipe.
- The tank holds the wastewater while the solids settle and form sludge, allowing oil and grease within the water to rise.
- The liquid wastewater (also known as effluent) is transported from the tank to a nearby drainfield.
- Effluent is filtered and dispersed into the surrounding soil and discharged into groundwater.
- The wastewater percolates into the soil and helps remove harmful coliform bacteria and viruses.
Who Needs a Septic Tank?
Septic tanks are helpful systems, but they aren’t for everyone. You will typically find them in rural areas or other areas not connected to a public sewer system. This is because these environments require special systems to help ensure waste is disposed of in a safe and sanitary way. Once your property has access to a public sewer system, however, you are required to abandon your septic tank and lines, something the team at Arrow Sewer & Drain specializes in.
